RGIII has a bright future. Hopefully this isn't as good as he can be. He makes good decisions and really only runs when it's designed or when he has to. He looks better than Newton did last year. He's a much better passer. He's pretty solid moving around in the pocket. He throws a petty ball.

I hated the flag on Barron though. I thought it was a great tackle and it prevented the pitch.

Cundiff is the only reason we were able to come back. He's also the reason you guys won.

One letter makes so much of a difference. Good game, bf333. I can't say I enjoyed the second half, but it's my freakin' birthday! I have a right to celebrate, right?_________________RIP SuperSkinFan

Bah. What a frustrating game for both teams. Good game, guys.

exactly!!

He was a yard from pulling a Penn State kicker there. To be fair, the Penn State kicker wasn't supposed to be the starter; he was only thrust into that role when their main guy left PSU. Cundiff is a professional. To miss from 41 and 31 while just barely making a second 41 yard field goal ... this isn't good.

Griffin's headset went out on the final drive nd he called about 1/2 the plays on his own!

Quote:

Problems with the headset on the final drive gave him a boost of confidence:
“It felt great. The whole drive was a little complicated. In practice every week, we always practice me calling the plays in two-minute [drills], acting as if the headset has gone out. The funny thing is the headset did go out on that drive. That’s why I was having to run back and forth to the sideline. I had to call a couple of my own plays and we moved the chains and got in field-goal range so it was very neat how that practice situation, that practice scenario played out in the game. Hopefully, you don’t want that to happen, but it was pretty cool.”
He estimated that he and Kyle Shanahan each called about half the plays on the drive. “Normally, I don’t call my own plays. I trust my offensive coordinator that he knows what he’s doing in those situations. But it both looked like what we were doing collectively.”

I had more confidence that Cundiff was going to make that kick, even with all of those misses, than I would have with Gano. Cundiff has been pretty solid without this performance today (and his 2 57+ yard fg tries); I don't know why people are wanting him out already.

if he didn't make that kick, I was ready to move on, but I am definitely more confident with Cundiff taking a game winning kick than Gano. Gano missed several possible game winners_________________RIP SSFmike23md

And made several as well.

And enabled us to stay in quite a few games (i.e. - the Cards game last year - only reason we were in that game was he went 4 for 4)._________________

It doesn't metter how many field goals you make if you can't make it when it really matters -- Gano has choked way too many times.
